Ron Paul Has Them

Congressman Paul’s consistent voting record prompted one of his congressional colleagues to say, “Ron Paul personifies the Founding Fathers’ ideal of the citizen-statesman. He makes it clear that his principles will never be compromised, and they never are.” Another colleague observed, “There are few people in public life who, through thick and thin, rain or shine, stick to their principles. Ron Paul is one of those few.”

Brief Overview of Congressman Paul’s Record
He has never voted to raise taxes.
He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
He has never taken a government-paid junket.
He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.
He voted against the Patriot Act.
He voted against regulating the Internet.
He voted against the Iraq war.

He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.
He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.

Congressman Paul introduces numerous pieces of substantive legislation each year, probably more than any single member of Congress.

These are the voting and historic facts of a man who has served our country by the letter of the constitution for 4 decades, I wish the best to a candidate worthy of respect who also thinks as I do on many key matters.

Being free is not a dead idea like the “top tier” corporate shills would have us believe.

Did you see his appearance on The Colbert Report tonight? It went very well. Colbert and the crowd also seemed to enjoy RP.

Dr. Paul is my hero. I sent his campaign another $50 last night. This will be the first time I have voted for a Republican in many years. Ron Paul is helping to deliver a new birth to Freedom in our lifetimes. Long live the Ron Paul rEVOLution!

RON PAUL is our only hope to get back to a true Constitutional government. Every single other candidate; Republican & Democrat could care less about the Constitution.

Ron Paul is the only credible candidate

I have been reading Ron Paul for many years and he has always been consistently for liberty and reason and privacy. For those less familiar with his work, it is all available online. Check him out yourself. If you care about freedom, you will care about Ron Paul.

Ron Paul is the spark to ignite and lead the freedom movement. Hopefully his message will reach deeply enough into the US public so we can escape this long journey we have taken from freedom into control and plunder by government and special interests.

He clearly is a great man in the tradition of the Founding Fathers, something this nation has not seen in many, many decades.

The best way to get Ron Paul elected is to educate people about the other candidates. Most of the other candidates are backed by the money of John Rockefeller in one way or another, and that money is being spent for the purpose of pushing forward the agenda for One World Government, which will greatly benefit international corporations.

Let the people know which candidates belong to the Council on Foreign Relations, which advocates One World Government –

Fred Thompson
Rudy Giuliani
John McCain
Mitt Romney
Jim Gilmore
Newt Gingrich
Hillary Clinton
Barack Obama
John Edwards
Joe Biden
Chris Dodd
Bill Richardson
Rudy "9-11" G on June 14th, 2007 1:05 pm

Why does Ron Paul have 14,000 more YouTube subscribers than Rudy G? Why does Ron Paul have over 1,100,000 Million channel views and the ‘front runner’, Rudy Giuliani, only has less than 95,000? Why are people so interested in the message this un-presumptuous baby-doctor from Texas is advocating? Why is the main stream media ignoring this revolution. For the very reason that Rudy Giuliani’s been saying, “They hate us for our Freedom”. The only thing is that the “they” here is not Islamic extremists - it’s the powers that be within our own hi-jacked government who hate US, the American people, for our freedom. And you can lump every candidate into this group - EXCEPT Ron Paul. Congressman Paul, hear this: Your are hated for the FREEDOM message you’re spreading. America - please remain silent on this - don’t give money; don’t tell your friends. www.IHateRonPaul.com

It’s a bit naive to suggest that we should put our faith in any one person isn’t it?

I submit that a little bit of good ol’ fashioned on-your-knees prayer about these matters would reverse America’s downward spiral immediately. After all, it was through those means that our founding documents were created in the first place.

Those brave men knew that God’s soverign plan trumped everything:

“For it is written:

“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”

Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?” 1 Cor 1:19,20

Seek the TRUTH and you will find it.

Ron Paul is offering something that most people don’t want — freedom. Most people are unsure of their own choices in such matters as religion and politics, and so want to be told what to believe. A “strong leader” is always desired, as doesn’t it seem better to have someone else, an “authority” to make the important choices choice for you? The constant presence, throughout the ages, of dictators, in politics and religion, is a sign of this common desire to be told “what to do”. Those, such as John Hagee are taken quite seriously by those who want to know “what to do” — in his case, as with all religous and political “leaders” the answer is simple: send us your money (i.e., give us your life which you seem not to want).

Today I was actually banned from a right-wing radio host’s forum, which had restricted the Ron Paul threads to three. I posted the Colbert youtube video and next thing you know, I was banned FOREVER from the website.

Something smells awful fishy lately. I will be attending my first Ron Paul meetup this Monday and can’t wait to get started on the campaign.

Just wanting to ask Michael Kraft if i can submit his article here to two local papers hoping they will run them as editorial pieces. as for myself i have been contributing $50. a month for ten months which i was able to do at Ron Pauls website. Looks like i’ll be extending that contribution right up to the state primary, and hopefully all the way to the presidential election! Went to my first local Meetup and though there were not a lot of people, i’m happy to say we are all dedicated to spreading the word about Dr. Paul. LETS DO THIS! WE NEED EVERYONE!!
James Powell on August 6th, 2007 5:43 pm

Anything I write CAN be reprinted in any way that is to benefit Ron Paul.

He has earned the kind remarks so they belong to him.
